In the semifinals of the World Junior Championships, the Chinese team came to the central and western Mexican city of Morelia.

The semifinals will be played at the José Maria Morelos i Pavón stadium in the city.

The reason the stadium is so long is because it is named after the leader of the Mexican War of Independence, in honor of the great national hero.

Today's hot weather is sprinkling water to cool down the stadium before the game, and when the two teams warm up on the field, the attendance in the stands is not high, after all, the city has a population of only 500,000 people, and the number of fans is sure to be greatly reduced.

Tang Hong used various parts of his body to toss the ball as usual, Qin Rui suddenly came to his side, looked at a thin figure in the opposite half and wondered: "That's Sterling?" Is he powerful? ”

Tang Hong only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, and said casually: "One-on-one, none of us can prevent him." ”

Qin Rui nodded clearly, watching the news in the group stage, he knew that Sterling was famous, but he just saw it with his own eyes but didn't think that the other party had anything special.

There are too many stars who are not good-looking, and there are no beauty contests on the green field, and the quality of the appearance and figure has nothing to do with the skills.

Before going back to the dressing room, Tang Hong looked at the lineup on the England side, in addition to Sterling, the most famous in the future should be goalkeeper Pickford, although the other players will definitely be effective in the Premier League in the future, but at least half of them must be wandering in the Championship or even League One.

Anyway, England has not had a player with incredible talent for many years, and it seems like a long time ago that Rooney and Theo Walcoat could have been admired by the media before the age of 18 like Raheem Sterling.

It is conceivable that Sterling's attention as a British star is naturally scary.

But in terms of outside scouts, Raheem Sterling is the kind of player who looks good but has little tracking value.

Because Raheem Sterling is now a Liverpool player, if he cashes in on his talent in the future, he will either stay at Liverpool or go to a better team than Liverpool!

If he can't cash in on his talent and is abandoned by Liverpool, opportunities for other clubs will come, but it means that he is definitely not as good as he once expected!

Van der Shearer's pre-match remarks tried to relieve the pressure on his players, talking about the team's progress and the rewards of their efforts since the trip, and only hoped that everyone would continue to be in shape, give their best to play the next two games, and leave Mexico with no regrets.

When the starters of the two teams entered the stadium, the players of England also paid more or less attention to Tang Hong, the British media is commonly known as Fleet Street, their attention to the game is pervasive, and they naturally analyze England's opponents very thoroughly, Tang Hong is the most mentioned Chinese team player in England's preparation information.

The team will also develop targeted defensive deployments against him.

In the last game of eliminating the Brazilian team, Tang Hong's brace really made him the most popular player in this World Junior Championship, and it is reasonable for the opponent to focus on blocking.

The players of the two teams were on the pitch for the pre-match kick-off ceremony, and there were only more than 16,000 spectators in attendance, who also did not seem very enthusiastic, sitting quietly in the stands waiting for the game to begin.

"There are four matches left in the World Junior Championships, two semi-finals, one third-place match, and one final!

In this penultimate match, we will see China and England battle it out for a ticket to the final in the semi-finals.

The two most outstanding players in this World Junior Championships are Tang Hong of the Chinese team and Raheem Sterling of the England team.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team today has changed compared to before, and they have adopted a 442 formation.

Goalkeeper: Zhang Yinuo.

Defenders: Zhao Hanchun, Liu Tao, Li Ang, Zhang Binyi.

Midfielders: Xie Pengfei, Luo Hongkai, Li Yuanyi, Liu Binbin.

Forwards: Qin Rui, Tang Hong.

England continued to play their traditional 442 formation.

Goalkeeper: Jordan Pickford.

Defenders: Cousins, McGree, Chalobah, Brad Smith.

Midfielders: Raheem Sterling, Lundstram, Kaski, Crayton.

Forwards: Hope, Hencauer.

On this sunny day, I believe that both teams will do their best to reach the final of the World Junior Championship! ”

The two teams were indeed in high spirits, and when the referee blew the whistle to blow the opening whistle, England, who were the first to kick off, quickly launched an attack.

They fly on the traditional wings, mainly because of their strong wing attack!

Raheem Sterling received a pass from Lundstram on the side and dribbled forward quickly, Liu Binbin of the Chinese team assisted in defending the side, and Sterling stopped in the rhythm of dribbling and then suddenly accelerated the ball to overtake from the outside to complete the breakthrough.

The skinny Sterling is very flexible, which is very different from the traditional image of thick and strong English players, of course, England has also had a lot of small players in the past ten years, such as Lennon, Walcott, Defoe and other players.

Fast, agile and quick-witted, but in terms of dribbling skills, Sterling has shown an extraordinary level at his current age, and this is what sets him apart, even Walcott, who was taken to the World Cup in Germany at the age of 16, is not as skilled as Sterling, even if the little tiger Walcott is very fast.

Raheem Sterling didn't try to break through Zhang Binyi before reaching the bottom line on the wing, but crossed the ball to the two centre-forwards in the middle of the box.

Hope and Hencauer didn't need much flamboyant skill at their feet, and the physical duel was still the same thing, perhaps the semi-finals got their fighting spirits high, but they were a little too aggressive, and Hensauer pushed Leon down with both hands directly from the back of the ball as he scrambled for a header, and although he then flicked his header into the back of the net, the referee's whistle blew and an offensive foul was awarded.

Hensauer was dissatisfied and told the referee that it was Li Ang who was too weak, not that he was too big!

It would be inaccurate to define England's style of play simply as flying on both wings, as they are characterized by their fast pace and high-intensity confrontation where every inch of territory is at stake.

With a long pass in the backfield of the Chinese team, Qin Rui lost when he competed with Chalobah for a header in the middle of the front court, so as not to be crushed by the confrontation, but the disadvantage in the jump will lead to physical imbalance, and the appearance of falling on the ground is a little embarrassing.

When Luo Hongkai controlled the ball behind the middle circle, Hope came to counter-rob, he dialed the ball and changed direction but continued to be oppressed by the opponent's physical confrontation, Luo Hongkai hurriedly knocked the ball back diagonally, and Liu Binbin stepped forward and sent it straight out.

Tang Hong led the ball from the side crosscut, Lundstram rushed up to force it, Tang Hong stopped sharply and pulled the ball back to the side to open up the distance with Lundstram, and then accelerated the ball to dribble forward.

When full-back Cousins intercepted head-on, Tang Hong strolled the ball diagonally into the left rib of the penalty area.

The football rolled behind central defender McGree, and when he turned around, he saw Qin Rui quickly cut forward to form a shooting opportunity on the left rib of the penalty area.

England's defensive system is still more afraid of ground passing and cutting offense, just like the last game against Japan, even if Japan's overall confrontation is weaker than them, but the Japanese team has broken through the defense twice, relying on the passing and cutting cooperation.

Although Chalobach was quickly returning to defense, it was difficult to interfere with Qin Rui.

Qin Rui stopped the ball and dribbled forward to complete the adjustment, and then decisively shot with his feet!

The ball flew straight to the near corner of the goal, but Pickford struck first, and when Qin Rui shot at goal, he fell to the ground and touched the ball with one palm.

The ball refracts and rolls off the baseline.

Qin Rui was very unwilling, but he could only calm down, he turned around and gave Tang Hong a thumbs up, the Chinese team's corner kick attack is difficult to threaten, because once the large force presses up, it is likely to form a quick counterattack after the England penalty area is cleared.

Then the offensive opportunity turned into a crisis.

Tang Hong went to take a corner kick, Zhang Binyi came up to the side to respond, and when many players of the England team rushed to press, Zhang Binyi knocked the ball back to Tang Hong, who ran to the offside position.

Cousins immediately killed Tang Hong, who flexibly picked the ball to the bottom line and quickly started, after getting rid of Cousins, Tang Hong controlled the ball and entered the penalty area to face McGree, who came to blockade, he made a gesture to pass the ball back to the triangle, McGree did not doubt him, but the next second the whole person only felt that the blood was surging and exploded with anger!

Tang Hong did dial the ball, but the ball rolled between McGree's legs, the ball speed was not fast, Tang Hong's body moved faster, rushed around the bottom line and rushed past McQuarrie's side and then around the boundary!

Wear the crotch!

This time, the England defense is completely in chaos!

Lundstram and Chalobah went towards Tang Hong, goalkeeper Pickford abandoned the goal and went to Tang Hong, the three-way encirclement made Tang Hong no longer have a shooting angle, but his deep eyes were sharp.

Between the lightning and flint, Tang Hong picked up his right foot to make a shooting pose.

Lundstram and Chalobah both blocked at the same time, and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford lowered his center of gravity and spread his arms to completely block his shot.

But Tang Hong's right foot quickly shook half a circle in front of the football, his right foot landed, and the outside instep turned the ball to the right side, and the football jumped through the gap between Lundstram and Chalobach's bodies, and Tang Hong jumped on the ground to force it through the gap!

But the legs of Lundstram and Chalobach both blocked Tang Hong's legs, resulting in Tang Hong's upper body passing, and the lower half of his body fell to the ground after his legs were pushed!

Kaski immediately cleared the ball, but at that point the referee's whistle blew.

England's eyes were shocked, and their scalps were numb as they looked at the referee's finger penalty spot in the penalty area!

Penalty kick!

The scene exploded instantly!
